Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Cubit Estimating

  • Every subscription carries a minimum twelve month term, so a firm that hires an estimator for one tender period pays for the full year regardless.
  • BIM and IFC takeoff sits only in Enterprise at $250 per user per month, meaning a builder who receives models rather than PDFs is pushed to the top tier whether or not it needs collaboration features.
  • The product is Windows only with no macOS or browser client, which excludes practices standardised on Macs unless they run virtualisation.
  • Rate libraries, measurement conventions and BOQ structures follow Australian practice, so buyers outside Australia and New Zealand inherit a method that does not match their local standard forms.
  • The AI Estimating add-on is priced at an explicitly temporary introductory rate, so a firm building the feature into its workflow is accepting an unspecified future increase on top of the seat price.

iAuditor by SafetyCulture

  • The free plan is limited to 10 users and 5 active templates
  • AI credits are metered per seat per month, at 300 on free, 500 on Premium and 800 on Enterprise
  • Unlimited templates and advanced analytics require Premium at $24 per seat per month billed annually
  • Paying monthly rather than annually raises Premium from $24 to $29 per seat
  • The 99.9% uptime commitment and 24/7 support are Enterprise only
